{late summer nights}

Who knew layers & layers of fashion/costume jewelry could be such fun? And even more so with a mix of real & faux pieces for everyday — paired with a white tank for a sultry summer afternoon, or with black for a cool, sexy summer night . . .

I’m a big fan of brooches, but never seem to know when/where/how to wear them. They look great amassed on this gray blazer. I think I’ll pull out my collection and try it this way. The model’s pretty loose bun is so soft and pretty, too.

I love those last two! That huge mass of pearls is so great – a simple black dress and red lips, and you’re good to go, PLUS the chicest in the room. And how cute are all those brooches on the blazer? Totally stealing that idea.
